THE Straits Times of the 30th ulto, has the following:-" Mr. Harper, in his circular yester- day, mentions that Rawangs were weak on the whisper that the Directors don't mean to pay a dividend. It was rumoured same days ago that they would pay 30 per cent." By turning to our Issue of April 8th, it may be seen that the sum available for dividend is $25.595-the capital being 895.732 Still as the Company has tod little capital, and has liabilities which in our judgment; are inconveniently large, the policy of not paying a dividend, and carrying forward the balance, would be a commendable one.

the public the utter unfitness of this official, to occupy a seat on the Judicial bench. Should he be allowed to occupy his present position without at the same time withdrawing from a course of conduct already associated with at least one scandalous perversion of justice, the Supreme Court of the colony will be degraded past redemp. tion. The apparently Justiñable comments made by a dozen or more country newspapers on this Judge's method of conducting business on the Western Circuit were, monikangn, brought under the notice of the Minister of Justice of the day and of the Chief Justice, but apparently without result. That anyone who dared to conduct a judicial hearing involving the lives of citizens, in the manner in which Judge Windeyer conducted the Mount Rennie case, should have been allowed to remain on the judicial bench for one instant is a reproach to Australia.
